EU judges have dismissed a case brought a former European Commissioner for unfair dismissal.<br /><br /> The court in Luxembourg ruled that Malta’s John Dalli resigned of his own accord.<br /><br /> He abruptly left office in October 2012 when it emerged that anti-fraud investigators said he knew an associate had sought cash in returns for changes to EU legislation.<br /><br /> The former Maltese finance minister had claimed that he has been sacked and that he made no offer to resign.<br /><br /> Dalli had been seeking compensation, arguing that there was insufficient evidence against him.<br /><br /> An appeal, on points of law only, can be brought by Dalli within two months.
